Engaging in Solidarity Through Hope, Equity, and Relationships
OUR WORK
Build a Welcoming Community for Immigrants in the Fox Valley
Immigrants are an important part of the Fox Valley community, yet many families continue to face barriers in acceptance. ESTHER brings people together to support immigrant families, elevate local voices, and advocate for policies that help create a welcoming community for everyone.
Why Immigration Matters in the Fox Valley
Issues such as driver's licenses, in-state tuition and immigration policy can have a direct impact on individuals, families, and communities. When community members come together to better understand these challenges and work toward practical solutions, it creates real change on an individual and collective level.
How ESTHER Supports Immigration Advocacy
01
Build Connections That Strengthen Communities
Strong communities are built through relationships. ESTHER brings together immigrants, advocates, community members, and local partners to foster understanding, build trust and create opportunities for people to work toward shared goals.
02
Bring Community Voices Into the Conversation
People directly affected by immigration policies have valuable perspectives on the challenges facing their families and communities. ESTHER helps community members engage decision-makers and participate in conversations that shape local and state policies.
03
Develop Leaders Who Create Change
ESTHER helps participants build leadership skills, gain confidence, and become active advocates for welcoming communities and practical solutions that support immigrant families across the Fox Valley.
